大象传媒 Trust seminar on impartiality and the 大象传媒's Arts coverage

On 23 June 2014, the 大象传媒 Trust held the third in its series of impartiality seminars, this time focusing on the 大象传媒's Arts coverage.

An invited audience including 大象传媒 staff and external interested guests and speakers discussed a range of subjects related to impartiality and the 大象传媒鈥檚 Arts coverage. 大象传媒 Trustee for England and Chair of the Trust鈥檚 Editorial Standards Committee, Alison Hastings, has written on the discussion that took place聽and a full list of attendees has also been published below.

The Trust鈥檚 impartiality seminars were first introduced in 2011 to strengthen the Trust鈥檚 work in ensuring that the 大象传媒鈥檚 standards of impartiality were being met.

Unlike the existing impartiality reviews carried out by the Trust, they are not based on reviews of 大象传媒 output. Instead they facilitate a discussion to enable the 大象传媒 to consider how to approach current and topical issues, which pose difficulties for programme makers, with due impartiality.
